I welcome Ms McDermott and thank her for her presentation and for sharing her thoughts with us. Many people remark to me that there is a real lack of support for parents who find themselves in unplanned and difficult situations in Ireland, and Ms McDermott's experience has proven this to be true. She spoke about the contrast between the two visions, as she sees it, for these parents. Will she talk to us about whether she feels we can provide the right support while introducing abortion as well?
